What, me discouraged? Nope! I’m still moving ahead. As my husband likes to point out, “It is a self-imposed deadline!” This is true. However, as a self-employed person, who else will impose a schedule if not me?

On the other hand, this means as I adjust the design of the book, I can also adjust the schedule of completion.

Now that my explanations (excuses?) have been made, have a look at a few recently completed drawings. (Hey Mr. Google, I’m talking about pencil drawings for the upcoming book The Cabins of Wilsonia.)

Before I start complaining, I’ll just show you another completed drawing and quietly go back to the drawing board. (Do you know anyone else who can honestly say that?)

I had planned to do a different angle of this cabin. The roof is interesting from that other angle, but the light wasn’t so good. I redesigned the page and chose this angle with its dappled light on the stone chimney.
